Question:

Of the following terms which one is not part of social resources?

Options:

Moral capital

Economic capital

Cultural capital

Social capital

Correct Answer:

Moral capital

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Moral capital

In every society, some people have a greater share of valued resources – money, property, education, health, and power – than others. These social resources can be divided into three forms of capital – economic capital in the form of material assets and income; cultural capital such as educational qualifications and status; and social capital in the form of networks of contacts and social associations (Bourdieu 1986). Often, these three forms of capital overlap and one can be converted into the other.
